Chicken Lime Enchiladas

Variety. That’s the lesson on Super Why today. Super Why only wanted to eat rice for dinner. The King only wanted to eat one kind of food. They learned that to be healthy, they need to eat several kinds of food. Have to love when cartoon characters learn lessons that apply to real life.

Mundane. That’s how I was feeling about menu planning and cooking. Partly based on the fact that I felt like crap, upset with all of the job rejections, and feeling trapped by my typical meat, chicken, fish, pasta, pizza routine. I love to give my family variety in foods to keep it interesting, but I was in a rut. Then I remembered Tasty Kitchen, a wonderful resource for recipes that I hadn’t thought to search. I found these beautiful enchiladas and immediately put them on the menu. Being so excited about the menu this week has me jazzed to cook again.
